Now I personally am not going to go into to much detail but if you want to read more check out the links at the bottom of the Blog, but I will express my own discomfort in this change here. I find its things like this that are sending more and more fans and Wrestlers (not superstars as WWE says) to other organizations such as TNA, ROH and New Japan Pro Wrestling.
I am not the only one who is baffled by this recent change, in an interview with Rob McNichol from The Sun Bret Hart also expressed his feelings about this change. I will also put a link to that at the bottom of the Blog.
R-Truth Heel Turn
Off of that main headline I am going to talk about R-Truths recent Heel turn.
It was a typical Character turn and it was well done, he got the fans against him quick and was able to play the part very well, but is this a good move? I am hoping that it will make a good storyline and some good matches with John Morrison and John Cena, but as R-Truth is someone that plays with the crowd, epically in his entrance, how is he going to play it now the fans are against him? We may see some changes in his character to adhere to the storyline, as long as it’s not a cheesy character it should go well.
Awesome Kong
You all may have noticed the recent promos for a new diva, that diva being Awesome Kong from TNA. In the video you see Kong holding a little blond doll, stroking its head before flicking the head off. So who is it Kong is targeting? And is she going to be Heel or Face? I am guessing it will be someone like Kelly Kelly or Michele McCool or even Beth Phoenix who will be the target as the hair colour of the doll, is blond. No matter who it is though I just hope that she brings some actual ability to the Divas division, I know it will be a challenge to take down Kong as she out sizes all the Divas currently in WWE.
Questions for you.
So something I am going to try is a “Questions for you” section. In this section I will post a few questions for you guys to think about or even answer in the comments or on twitter to me.
So here are the questions: How do you feel about the idea of Vince’s claims that WWE is not a wrestling company?
How do you think R-Truth id going to do as a Heel character? Do you think it will last or will he return to a Face sooner than later?
Are you looking forward to Awesome Kong? And who do you want her to come in and feud with?
Well I hope my return blog tickled your brain enough to come back if I keep writing, I hope to hear from some of you soon.
For now this is Matty.D Signing off.

I think the heel turn for R-Truth was done well and was totally out of the blue. One thing I did disagree with is the fact that he smoked. Now I'm not against smoking but afterall this is supposed to "pg" friendly and I'm sure parents wern't happy with their kids seeing that. Other than that it was a good turn and I'm interested to see where it goes from here. I don't see why they gave him a push though to be in the extreme rules match then have morrison come in and take it from him, why not have morrison win the gauntlet match in the first place?
